Summary
She remembers waking up, getting breakfast, and waiting for the day to start. She doesn't remember falling asleep, but she does remember waking up again. Only this time, it's cold, her body is weird, and she's suspended in what feels like egg whites. Oh, and her egg-mate? Yeah, that's Ghost. The Knight. Protagonist of hit indie video game Hollow Knight. And she... appears to be in the title role. Yippee.
Alright, comprehensive plan is this:
1. don't die
2. don't let Ghost die
3. get accidentally adopted by the White Lady
4. fix everything?This'll be fun. (And by fun, well, let's just say... mental breakdown.)
Heavily inspired by FreakOfYourNature's A Not-So-Hollow Knight (self insert dies painfully and for some reason reincarnates as the Hollow Knight, then proceeds to obliterate any sense of coherence Hallownest had left), but with two key differences: One, said self insert is infinitely less aggressive, and Two, the Pale King is actually a decent person. And maybe... maybe he could even become a decent father.

Summary
The humans on Beach City carried around little ones like this, like you, all the time, and almost always got frantic whenever they lost track of them. To leave something so weak and vulnerable on its own was clearly frowned upon, and for very good reason. It was more than evident to the Gem that something this small and helpless could not defend itself from threats or dangers of any sort, so it was little wonder that humans were so fussed about keeping them safe. Even without utilizing any sort of future vision, Garnet could think of a hundred different things that could fell such a fragile thing.
You. Fragile, helpless, vulnerable little you.
Aw.
Something ever so slightly softened in her expression… not that you could tell, of course. You continued to weep and scream.
(Or, you were the first human-gem child the Crystal Gems raised. Now that you're an adult, you're helping them raise Steven. It's a learning process.)
